Doctors finally managed to remove the shark, but sadly he didn't survive the ordeal.

"It's a shark that's been in our park for sometime," Clint Tracy of the Boca Raton Fire and Rescue told reporters. "And although we have compassion for the victim, we're also sad that the shark is not going to be there anymore."

Even in the oceans, the odds are stacked exponentially higher against sharks than they are against humans. National Geographic notes about two million sharks are killed by humans for every human killed by a shark.

When it comes to attacks on humans, few animals have a more exaggerated reputation than sharks.

Unless, of course, those humans refuse to leave them alone cas reportedly was the case on that Boca beach. We've seen countless cases of humans being real heroes to sharks, as well as villains.
